Dodge Viper GTS Hasseroder No.53

The Dodge Viper GTS Hasseroder No.53 hits the track with all the character of the original and the technical precision of Revo Slot

Revo Slot is a brand that has managed to build a different proposal within 1:32 scale slot racing: models with a carefully crafted visual presentation and a technical foundation backed by BRM Model Cars, a European benchmark in high-level chassis and mechanics. The reference RS-0155 embodies this philosophy, bringing the image of the Dodge Viper GTS with the Hasseroder team livery, number 53, to the world of slot racing.

Features and Highlights

• 1:32 scale, the most widespread standard in club and home slot racing.
• Injection-moulded plastic body with high-definition finish and official decoration of the Hasseroder No.53 team.
• Anodized aluminium floating chassis designed and manufactured by BRM Model Cars, providing structural rigidity and a cleaner response in corners.
• Anglewinder motor position: the motor is positioned at an angle relative to the rear axle, allowing for optimized weight distribution and reduced height of the mechanical assembly.
• Adjustable transmission, providing room for adjustment to adapt the car to different track types and driving preferences.

Scale and Level of Detail

The 1:32 scale makes this model a perfect balance between size, detail, and manageability. The injection-moulded plastic body from Revo Slot presents a level of finish in line with what is expected from a brand that cares for both aesthetics and mechanics. The livery of the Hasseroder No.53 is faithfully reproduced to the original decoration, making it an attractive item for collectors as well.

Track Performance

The anodized aluminium floating chassis designed by BRM allows the body to have some independent movement relative to the mechanical assembly, improving the guide's contact with the track and the overall stability of the car. The anglewinder configuration positions the motor at an angle, promoting a lower centre of gravity than other configurations and a more balanced mass distribution. The adjustable transmission adds an extra layer of tuning that more demanding drivers will appreciate.

Ideal for…

• Enthusiasts looking for a slot car with a BRM technical base and outstanding visual presence.
• Collectors interested in the Dodge Viper GTS in 1:32 scale with real competition decoration.
• Club racers wanting a model with an aluminium chassis and adjustable transmission.
• Those looking to get started in slot racing with an intermediate-advanced level product without starting from scratch on tuning.

Considerations

The dynamic and drive components of this model are entirely developed by BRM Model Cars, which means that compatible spare parts and mechanical components will correspond to that range. It is advisable to keep this in mind when planning maintenance or preparation of the car.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean that the motor is in anglewinder position?

In an anglewinder, the motor is placed at an angle relative to the rear axle, unlike a sidewinder (parallel to the axle) or an inline (perpendicular). This arrangement allows for a lower centre of gravity and optimizes weight distribution without the space limitations of the inline.

What advantage does the anodized aluminium floating chassis provide?

The floating chassis allows the body to have a certain degree of independent movement relative to the mechanical assembly. This improves the guide's contact with the track on uneven sections and contributes to a more stable and predictable driving experience.

What is adjustable transmission and how is it adjusted?

Adjustable transmission allows for modification of the gear ratio between the motor and rear axle, thus varying the car's response in acceleration and top speed. The exact adjustment depends on the included BRM components; it is recommended to consult the technical documentation from BRM Model Cars for the available adjustment ranges.

Is it compatible with Scalextric or Ninco circuits?

1:32 scale slot cars with standard guide are usually compatible with the main track systems on the market, including Scalextric and Ninco (universal track). However, it is advisable to verify the dimensions of the guide of the specific model before running it on a particular circuit.

Who manufactures the mechanics of this model?

All dynamic and drive components are developed and signed by BRM Model Cars, a brand specialized in high-precision chassis and components for 1:32 slot racing.

Is it designed for competition or recreational use?

The combination of anodized aluminium chassis, anglewinder motor, and adjustable transmission makes it suitable for both contexts. It is a model with sufficient technical foundation for club competition, but perfectly enjoyable on a home circuit.
